Giesbrecht, 43, was sentenced to 8.5 years in prison last July for concealing the remains of six dead infants in a storage locker.
The Winnipeg mom is appealing that verdict and was in court Wednesday morning asking to be freed on bail until that appeal can be heard by the court.
“We are dealing with very serious offences here,” Crown Jennifer Mann told the court Wednesday. “We will never know how these babies died.”
